What do we give to patients with hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock?
Blood
In nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock (for ex. dehydration)
Crystalloid volume expander or
Colloid volume expanders
Constituents of crystalloid volume expanders
Saline, glucose and sodium chloride which can pass biological membranes.

(rapidly expands both extra and intracellular compartments)

Requires very large volumes
Constituents of colloid volume expanders
Large molecules such as albumin, dextrans, gelatins, hetastarch.

They cause osmotic pull into the intravascular space.

They however carry the risk of hypersensitivity reaction.
Nevertheless, which is the preferred agent in nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock?
Saline
What are requirements for adm. of vasopressors?
SBP drop of more than 30mmHg

or

MAP less than 60mmHg

or end-organ damage occurs due to hypoperfusion.

Hypovolemia has to be corrected first.
Four nonadrenergic vasopressors that may be helpful during the treatment of shock.
Vasopressin and Terlipressin have been shown to decrease mortality when used together with vasopressors.

Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (amrinone and milrinone) They are however vasodilatatory but positively inotropic.

Nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, because vasodilation due to septic shock is believed to be caused by prod. of NO.
Anticoagulant used in septic shock which is also used in DIC.
Drotrecogin alpha (synthetic Protein C which degrades coagulation factor V to VIII we use it because microvascular coagulation is one factor causing organ damage in septic shock)
Mediators of septic shock
LPS (endotoxin) from the membranes of G- bacteria.

IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha

Cascade of other inflammatory mediators.
Inotropic agent used in anaphylactic shock in patients who are on beta blockers?

-Lepuridin (direct thrombin antagonist)
-Argatroban (direct thrombin inhibitor)

Drug classes for heart failure and their effect on morbidity/mortality. According to handout.
Diuretics (unknown effect on mortality, but effective for symptoms)

ACE inhibitors (decr. progression, and decr. mortality)

Spironolactone may incr. survival due to decr. cardiac remodelling but shoudn't be combined with ACE inhibitors.
Drug classes for heart failure and their effect on morbidity/mortality. According to Lippincott.
ACE inhibitors significantly reduces morbidity and mortality.

ARBs have unknown effects on mortality in CHF but they do have proven decreased morbidity in hypertension.

Beta blockers show improved systolic functioning and reverse cardiac remodelling probably leading to decr. mortality.
